Access Academies

🎉Please join us in welcoming Patrick Ganninger to the Access Board of Directors!

Patrick is an associate in the litigation department at Lewis Rice, where he focuses on complex commercial and construction litigation. He also serves as the Prosecuting Attorney for the City of Kirkwood, MO (Government).

A lifelong St. Louisan, Patrick is a proud graduate of Chaminade College Preparatory School St. Louis, the University of Notre Dame, and SLU LAW. Having benefited from years of Catholic education, Patrick is passionate about expanding access to the same life-changing opportunities that have shaped his own career and commitment to service.

We are grateful for Patrick's leadership and look forward to the expertise and perspective he will bring to the Access mission.
